IMac 5K - 3TB fusion, bootcamp damaged, removed and now extremely confused in reading answers for fix
Two days ago I rebooted to Bootcamp Windows 8.1 and it blue screened. I have been trying for two days to fix my system following helpful posts here and I'm just digging myself further into confusion and complications. At this point I'm extremely in over my head. I have removed the Bootcamp partition using Boot Camp Assistant and tried re-installing Windows again and again using BCA…
At the moment I am back to no Windows partition, just a 3TB OS X partition, but when I try to create a Windows partition it gets created as a logical core... heck, I don't understand enough, just know it's not right.
How do I get my drive tables all right again and then be able to create a working Bootcamp partition? What screenshots do I need? I appreciate any help I can get.
Okay, I used Bootcamp to create a EFI-bootable USB drive with Windows 8.1
I had my drive back to a single 3TB partition.
I created a Free Disk (empty) partition of 750GB (which was then set as 876.82GB).
I rebooted.
Created a new partition, got the notice that Windows will create a smaller 128 MB partition.
It did create the 128 MB partition, or showed such.
Then when I go to format the other, last free space partition it seems to work.
When I go to install Windows 8.1 in that partition I am told Windows cannot find a partition to install into.
Here is my diskutil list as it is now.
… and I just saw the "must be under the 2TB limit" again… I don't know how I had Bootcamp working until last week. It was cleanly set up on my new Mac as ~750GB the first time with BCA and worked for months until whatever changes were made with 10.10.3.

Bootcamp crashed removing partition, now stuck with 60GB "Free Space"
I have a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 with a 250GB hard drive running Mavericks 10.9.3
I use to have a 60GB windows partition setup via bootcamp, but I haven't used it in a while and wanted the space back. Bootcamp crashed half way through removal, and now I have a 60GB of Free Space that I am unable to resize the existing Mac partition into, nor can I use that space to create any new partitions. I try and no error appears, yet when I leave the partitions tab it says I've got unsaved changes.
I've gone into recovery mode and run a repair disk, and to resize it while still inside recovery mode. Nothing seems to help.

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -
Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it
updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried? -

I have iphone5 and now been given Nokia lumia 520 for work. How can I ensure that my calendars all sync in real time between each phone? Many thanks for any advice
Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area) you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.! Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F = Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33 -
i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?
If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hi, I need help with my iphone four bought in England but I live in Italy, I upgraded IOS six and now I can not read more than the Italian card, how can I contact a service center via email?
Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

Hello, I own a macbook air and I deleted the iPhoto app by mistake, I cant re download it now, do you have any answer for me how to do it?
That's an App Store problem not an iPhoto one. That forum is here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/using_mac_apple_store
but perhaps you just need to try again later, as the message says.
